Today is Memorial Day throughout our country and the family survivors of our American Wars lost in battle still feel the great sadness and the loss of their loved ones. Many will feel the national pride for those sacrificed in the name of our principles and the commitment to our heritage and freedom. So many lost over the many battles were in the prime of their young lives and they will never have a chance to tell us about their dreams of a tomorrow that will never come.

We, the families and friends will always remember them and that they gave all they had to give for love of their country. I hope you will take at least a moment today to honor their courage and their ultimate sacrifice. We owe them much!

And respect, honor and revere all of our volunteer veterans. At no time in our history have we experienced the horrific loss of limbs and trauma faced by so many of todays Veterans. A Grateful Nation takes the lead in assuring that their needs and families are cared for. They are owed that much and more. When and if possible make a private contribution to the funds needed to help those that have given so freely without hesitation.
